    phase/time alignment

    Back in the '80s I frequented a Hi-Fi store that sold Theils. I was not impressed. I prefer high order crossovers (18db/octave or higher) from my miniDSPs. They do have adjustments for delay and I use it for the sub but for the rest of my drivers are just set for 0ms delay. I will soon test...

    Asus Xonar Essence STX

    I have the Asus Xonar Essence STX I've had this card for a couple of years. I use it every day with my Sennheiser HD600s for hours. Its great although the "surround" emulation feature doesn't make me feel as if they are more than stereo headphones. I'm not certain I even believe in a sound...
